RECENTLY, TO AVOID THE DIFFICULTIES OF FRONTAL ATTACK OF MODERN ARMOR VEHICLES, FLY-OVER-SHOOT-DOWN MISSILES HAVE BEEN PROPOSED. HOWEVER, TESTS HAVE SHOWN THAT THE RESULTING CROSSING VELOCITY CAN REDU ...

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ARMOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE INTRODUCTION OF EFFECTIVE APPLIQUES HAVE GREATLY INCREASED THE DIFFICULTY OF MUNITION DESIGN. WARHEADS CAPABLE OF DEFEATING THESE ADVANCED ARMORS MUST B ...

THE METALFORMING INDUSTRY IS ACTIVELY SEEKING METHODS TO ANALYZE THE MATERIAL FLOW DURING PRODUCTION PROCESSES. ACCURATE COMPUTER MODELLING WOULD PROVIDE AN EFFICIENT SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR PROCESS DESI ...

THE LETHALITY OF ANY DIRECTED-ENERGY WARHEAD IS MEASURED BY ITS ABILITY TO CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE VULNERABLE COMPONENTS THAT EXIST BEHIND THE PROTECTIVE ARMOR. THIS DAMAGE IS INCURRED BY THE ...

RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN ADVANCED ARMOR TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING THE INTRODUCTION OF EFFECTIVE APPLIQUE ARMOR, PRESENT A SPECIAL CHALLENGE FOR THE ANTI-TANK MISSILE WARHEAD DESIGNER. TWO GENERAL APPROACHES ...

MANY EXPLOSIVE WARHEADS ARE SENSITIVE TO INITIATION BY FRAGMENT OR BULLET IMPACT AND SYMPATHETIC DETONATION. DIRECTED-ENERGY WARHEADS IN PARTICULAR ARE OFTEN LOADED WITH VERY ENERGETIC EXPLOSIVE TO OB ...

CURRENT NAVY MUNITION CONTAINERS PROVIDE INADEQUATE PROTECTION FROM A WIDE SPECTRUM OF THREATS. THIS LACK OF PROTECTION MAY RESULT IN DETONATION OF THE SHIP'S MAGAZINE. CURRENT MUNITION CONTAINER DESI ...

CURRENT TOP-ATTACK ANTI-ARMOR MUNITIONS CONTAINING SELF-FORGINGFRAGMENT (SFF) WARHEADS ARE DEDICATED DESIGNS THAT ARE INTENDED TO DEFEAT A SPECIFIC TYPE OF TARGET AND ARE GENERALLY LESS EFFECTIVE AGAI ...

THE INCREASED EFFECTIVENESS OF MODERN ADVANCED ARMORS HAS CALLED FOR MORE PERFORMANCE FROM EXISTING CONVENTIONAL WARHEADS. ONE WAY TO ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE IS THROUGH THE USE OF HIGH-DENSITY MATERIAL ...

IN THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF MULTI-POINT INITIATED WARHEAD SYSTEMS CURRENT WORK CENTERS ON FULL-SCALE TESTING OF WARHEADS AND ON THREEDIMENSIONAL HYDROCODE SIMULATION. RECENTLY AT DYNA EAST DEVELOPME ...
